A Victor Valley Community Hospital administrator alerted sheriff's authorities that a hospital employee, Russell Rawlins, was attempting to sell computers at the hospital with the initials AVUSD inscribed on the bottom of them, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Apple Valley station officials said.

Apple Valley Unified School District police officers arrived at the hospital and found three computers Rawlins had already sold, according to authorities.

The school police officers recovered four more laptops with the help of an Apple Valley sheriff's detective, officials said.

On Aug. 18, school police discovered that 11 laptop computers had been stolen from Mariana Elementary School, officials said.

Rawlins was arrested for burglary and possession of stolen property, sheriff's officials said.

Investigators are still looking for four more computers and additional people involved in the burglary, officials said.
